Family
Race Team Dream
I printed some photos of the wedding and put them in a little book to show them to people. I figured it was easier than passing my phone around. As I was showing them to some friends today, we talked about my grandchildren and what they were doing. I shared that my older grandson had […]
Teamwork
I had to have a basal cell skin cancer spot removed from above my eyebrow yesterday. Actually, while the dermatologist was performing the outpatient surgery, he found that it had grown into my eyebrow as well. I was glad that my son picked me up after the procedure, so I didn’t have to try driving […]
The Wedding
It has been a whirlwind of excitement and joy during the past several days as we celebrated my younger son’s wedding. The day before the wedding, my daughter in law’s mother hosted an intimate shower and tea. I was grateful to meet many of the ladies in the family, including the grandmother who I heard […]
People Arriving
Today 3 out of 4 of my siblings plus my brother in law arrived safely at my house. We visited and laughed and reminisced as we get ready for a busy couple of days. Tomorrow my other sister and her son and his wife arrive. I’m looking forward to having a house full of people […]
Getting Real
My son called me today and gave me an update on his pre-wedding happenings. He said he picked up his suit that he will be wearing and had to find a place to hide it in his closet. He and his fiancee have been moving her things into the house and they were making one […]
Learning to Dance
My son’s wedding is less than a week away and that is pretty much all I can think about. We had been talking about what song to have for our mother/son dance and finally decided on “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts. We both remembered that I used to sing it to my son in the […]
Wedding Outfits
I was happy that my sister was here for a couple days. I put on my outfits for the upcoming wedding and showed her. She helped me figure out what jewelry would look nice. She forgot to bring her dress with her, but had a photo. Today we went to the shoe store and she […]
Bear Investigation
My brother and I have been doing a lot of cleaning at the cabin. Yesterday he loaded up his truck with a couple bags of stinky trash to take down to the community dumpster. Unfortunately, they had already closed. So, the trash stayed in his truck overnight. Before we went to bed, we discussed what […]
Humming
I spent some time volunteering at the Newman Center today. One of the young ladies was humming as she went from here to there. I loved hearing that. I told her I enjoyed her humming and it reminded me of my mother who always had a song playing. The young woman said that she felt […]
Going To Be All Together
My son’s wedding is in just a couple weeks now. I have been talking with my siblings about coming and staying at my house. My nephew and his wife are coming too. Everyone wants to stay here and be all together. Today my sister reminded us of a time many years ago when we were […]
